The Biggest Night In Fashion

So who was the best dressed at the 2013 Met Ball? Here are my selections.

Revved Up. Calvin Klein SS13

Sex, intellectuals, and cars. Sounds odd together, right? Well...

If we're talking hemlines, this is one of the most revealing Klein collections to date. The new Calvin Klein woman oozes sexuality whether she's in a short dress or a modest skirt and blouse.

Don't let her provocative nature fool you, this woman has brains (she wears a trouser suit for goodness sake). There are a lot of classic workwear pieces in this collection that fit into a "minimally timeless" category that will not only slot well into your closet, but will enhance it.

These were not cars in a literal Prada sense. The automobile trend is revived this season with design elements in the peplum and the round bratop styles. This takes cars to a whole new level of cool.

All three element sound great, no? But you may still be a little confused as to how they go together. The answer lies in yet another brilliant collection from Francisco Costa - the perfect way to end New York Fashion Week.

The Girl In The Calvin Klein Collection AW12 Dress

This season Calvin Klein Collection, always a nice palate cleanser, played with the new oversize silhouette. Oversized and ladylike don’t usually go well together in clothes, but in this collection it did. I hear Rooney Mara played a big role in the inspiration too...

The Pre-Fall 2012 Collections. (Because There's An Imaginary Chilly Breeze Outside.)

The pre-fall 2012 collections offer something for every taste and, even better – every shape. Still the common factor is a sense of comfort and style – something that, if these are a prediction for fall, is here to stay. 

Burberry Prorsum sends three strong messages: high wasted skirts, belts with bows, and gigantic shoppers. 

All your workwear needs are fulfilled at Calvin Klein Collection. One word: skirtsuit. 

Think about something different for evening-wear. Think Carolina Herrera.

When the leaves start to turn crimson, they’ll take a cue from your Erdem dress.

Louis Vuitton = fluffy. 

Lagerfeld takes the Slumdog out of Slumdog Millionaire at Chanel.

 If it’s oversized, it’s Céline.

The Gucci woman wears the pants – and won’t shy away from riding her own War Horse. 

Lanvin remains clean cut and relaxed… giving you just enough room to bust a move. 

It’s the Stella McCartney comfort of a jumpsuit. The maxi platforms make it high fashion. (And bring you closer to heaven.) 

Giorgio Armani reminds us that it’s what’s on the inside that counts.

For a modern sexy, go back to Versace.
